Although it was interesting to see Bear's creator and learn something about their past in episode 22, I felt that GA is spending a bit too much time on one-shot side stories. They do help Mikan realize some important things about Natsume, but it doesn't really progress things. And since next episode appears to be something similar, it looks like the ending might get rushed a bit. Still, I like this cute little series, and thanks again to ADTRW for working on its welldeserved completion.

Actually, the next episode is the first episode of the final arc. And I would also like to thank ADTRW. I was beginning to think that it would never be completed.

After watching episodes one and two on Sunday I took Monday off work to watch episodes three to twenty-two in one go, the pacing of this show is superb, easily one of the best I've seen in a long time. I'll be damned if Iinchou isn't the most feminine male character I've ever seen in this sort of show, I know it's not uncommon for male characters to have female voices but everything about him screams femininity, if you take a good look you'll see that he even has girl-style eyelashes.

This is so good... I watched episodes 5-10 tonight and my eyes are sore from the tears; I have not cried so much in perhaps a year. I was expecting a lot (based on the staff, and episode 1) and so far it has delivered even more. I'm just trying to pace myself so I don't forget who the characters were by the time the final episode is released

*chuu* to Naisho and ADTRW!

P.S. Also, it's interesting how Hotaru is unrecognizable as Shana or Louise. I have to keep reminding myself they're the same person...

Well I finally got around to checking out the first few episodes and I was so enchanted by them I wound up running through the entire 22 that are subbed.

Frankly I really wish the show was longer...4 more episodes just doesnt feel like enough. The cast of characters is so large, diverse, and mostly importantly interesting that I feel like they could easily squeeze out another 12 episode season at the least and it wouldnt lose any of the charm or pacing of what ive seen so far...

*goes off to hunt down the manga*

Wow, this has *actually* nearly been completely subbed. A hundred thanks to Studio ADTRW for not forgetting about it. IMO, Gakuen Alice was a real gem and one of the few anime series to make me laugh, but I would have expected it to be completely forgotten as I don't think it was popular in the first place.

I may have to start from the beginning, because I forgot what's happened.

Such a nice finish. Hooooottttttttaaaaaaaaaarrrrrruuuuuuuuuuuu hee hee, loved the way it finished as it started, not really a spoiler there, you'll have to guess what I mean or watch it

I remember how GA saved my life when I woke up really sick and hung over. I had dl'd 13 episodes of it the night before thinking that it is whole series and I was so gutted that it wasn't the end, but it gave me a reason to push past the hang over. What a wunniful journey it has been.

*Edit*
I've been hunting all over the interweb, but I can't find anywhere that lists all of Hotaru's inventions. Does anyone know of one? I am tempted to go through all the episodes and cut out all of those scenes

Hotaru is such a great character, I love the way she kicks everyone's arses in such a inexpressive way, she is just too cool.

Spoiler for for Hotaru's' thoughts in epi 26:

What do u think she was thinking about Mikan sulking in the graduation ceremony? I personally think that she associated it with Mikan needing to repay the rabbits. Then again she is a super genius and she does seem to love winding people up so she could have planned the whole thing to get some glad points from Mikan

Reason: Must have more Hotaru....

It was a nice ending, although some things weren't wrapped up as I would have liked to, and kinda expected considering the number of episodes left to do it in.

Spoiler:

It was confirmed that the earlier one with the nullification alice was Mikan's mother, and that her actions caused some trouble within the academy. But we don't find out what exactly happened to her, and I don't believe Mikan was told it was her mother either, was it? The situation around Natsume's activities wasn't really resolved aswell, eventhough the last arc was partly instigated because of it. Only the Leo&co rebellion was more or less wrapped up, since it seemed Leo might stop assaulting the academy.

The last episode was a nice bit of final development, eventhough I would have liked some more insight into some of the above put in there instead. Mikan is forced to (re)think her attachment to Hotaru, although at the end it seems not much has changed after all regarding that. Yet.

I might have to rewatch the show to get a better feel for the whole thing, because of the huge gaps in subbing. But it's finally done!

Wow!
For something that makes a joke every five seconds this thing is surprisingly dark and gloomy. I don't understand who the audience is supposed to be - despite a "kid's show" appearance the story is really deep and dark, its definitely not for children.
Big thanks to ADTRW and Naisho for subbing it.

I started downloading this show for my little sister (who is eleven years old), but what do you know, I enjoyed it, myself!

I really can't find much to complain about it. Being a kid's show gives it a little extra leeway in terms of "suspension of disbelief", but it never took things too far.

I actually hated to see it end so early in the story! I do think that if it had kept up as it was, it would have gotten old soon after, but to manage 26 episodes without me wanting to strangle Mikan for whining means that some real talent went into this.

I love seeing that, while it's told from a child's perspective, the world they live in isn't childish (a tad whimsical, but who cares?). The story would have been believable and compelling even if it had been told from an adult's perspective.

Kudos to the production team and the subbers. I think this show is underappreciated.

Hi, I know this topic is old and all...but I'm up too episode 17 (I have seen this episode) but when I got number 18 it was RAW =o. I figured since none of the rest say Naisho all the rest are unsubbed as well? Or is there some way to turn the subs or or what? If someone could help and anwser, becuase this series is getting REALLY awesome. I'd like to know what they're saying~

The rest of the episodes were subbed by "ADTRW" but I have no idea where to get them now.
